Deciding 2016 Margin Protection Program Coverage for Your Dairy Farm

Community Contributor kristie.schmitt

Northeast dairy producers are invited to participate in a webinar on the 2016 Dairy Margin Protection Program (MPP) being hosted by Farm Credit East on Friday, September 18, at 11:00 AM. The fall sign-up deadline is approaching, so this webinar will provide information and tools to help dairy producers in their decision. Participation is free.

With major world economies showing signs of stress and dairy product prices falling, the environment during this year's signup period is much different from lasts. This webinar will look at milk and feed markets in the year ahead; provide information to help you determine financial stress on your farm; and demonstrate new farm stress-test features of the online MPP Decision Tool. Mark Stephenson, director of dairy policy analysis at University of Wisconsin-Madison, will present this webinar.

Join us on Friday, September 18, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM for information and resources to help you select 2016 MPP coverage for your farm. This webinar is free to participate. Visit FarmCreditEast.com/webinars for registration information.
